If I had to pick a movie to watch on Valentine's, Tampopo would be the one. This great Japanese film is simple and sweet, yet impossible to fully describe. It models itself on classic Spaghetti Westerns — kind but mysterious man arrives in town and takes a widow's struggling affairs in hand. Only, in this case, no outlaws are involved; her business is a ramen shop. A glorious and slyly funny tribute to beauty of noodles, food, and love.

Gran Classico is a bitter liqueur in the vein of Campari and Aperol, but I find it a little more multi-dimensional than the fluorescent Campari. In fact, it is supposedly the liqueur that Campari based its initial formulation upon. Gran Classico has only recently made a comeback, and I love it in simple, classic cocktails. Mix with gin and Carpano Antica vermouth for what we like to call a "golden Negroni."

Snack boxes are also growing in popularity — monthly subscriptions that bring healthy, or gluten-free, or just downright tasty new snacks to your door. Have you tried one of these?

Are they toys? Are they tabletop tools? Or both? These incredibly beautiful and whimsical grinders are by artist and designer Cas Holman for Areaware, and both can be used for either salt or pepper. A really special and beautiful object for the table.

I have a nice bed, a functioning coffee table, and a beautiful bar cart – but my favorite piece of furniture, by far, is my kitchen island from IKEA. It was a little bit of a splurge, but has proven to be worth the extra cash. It makes my home more home-y, my kitchen more organized, and my cooking prep easier. Do you own this kitchen island, too?

We've shared Pierre Lamielle's work here before — he's an illustrator with a great sense of humor, a love of food, and a very chic kitchen. His current venture is Food on Your Shirt — a collection of t-shirts for food-lovers. It's hard to pick just one, but I already want to wear this one to Thanksgiving dinner next year.
